Swedish


Swedish massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of massage are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Deep Tissue


Deep tissue massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep tissue massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue massage, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don’t get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is fairly common after the treatment and that you should drink plenty of water to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that are released from the deep tissue during the session.

Reiki


Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, the practitioner works directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.


Intra-Oral Massage Therapy


If you have been diagnosed with TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) or have pain in the jaw, by the ears, forehead, back of the head, neck and/or shoulders, a therapeutic TMJ massage may be right for you. Treatment consists of massage to the neck, shoulder, facial, and muscles of the mouth. The practitioner will focus treatment on your chewing muscles, eliminating any trigger points, and pain referral areas by releasing tension in the fascia around the jaw, neck, head and face.

This treatment also includes intra-oral massage to the masseter muscles to reduce the stress it can put on the jaw and temporomandibular joints. Pain is frequently aggravated by clenching and/or grinding of the teeth, causing damage to the joints due to disease, arthritis or trauma to the face.

Intra-oral massage certified with Washington State Department of Health in August 2012


Pregnancy Massage (Pre-natal)


Pregnancy massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman’s body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, pregnancy massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.

I graduated from Ashmead School of Massage and became licensed as a massage therapist in 2006. In my seven years, I have focused on deep tissue and injury treatment in both my practice and continuing education. TMJ and jaw related pain is quite prevalent with other injuries so in 2012 I was certified by the State of Washington to administer intraoral massage and have been amazed at the difference it has made in relieving headaches and neck pain.

Life is all about balance and I believe that is true with my practice as well. Deep treatment work can be great for the muscles but I believe energy work can be just as important. My journey into bodywork began in 2000 when I became Level 1 certified in Reiki while training as a yoga instructor. I was shocked at the difference I felt with treatments and continue to be surprised by the positive feedback from clients. Reiki can be done in a separate treatment or included with other massage sessions.







Francesca is a gifted massage therapist…

"Francesca is a gifted massage therapist. She is one of only two LMPs I’ve visited who is always able to find the right spots with the right pressure without guidance. Even though I live all the way down in Kent, it’s absolutely worth the drive each time I’m able to squeeze in a massage here and there instead of visiting someone closer to me." —Grant


Just the right pressure…

"I’ve just started going to Francesca for regular massages and I wish I had started earlier! She does a fantastic job, just the right pressure and is always making sure that I’m feeling okay during the service. She’s super friendly, super accommodating and her location is pretty close to central Seattle so it’s easy to get to no matter what. The office she works in is quiet, relaxing and calming, I really like it." —Kumi


I recommend her highly…

"Before I came to Francesca my neck was so tight I had trouble turning my head to check before changing lanes. She pays attention to what’s bothering you and has an understanding of the physiology behind it. I recommend her highly." —Stephanie


She is amazing, a true healer…

"I have been seeing Francesca for many years now. She is amazing, a true healer. She is caring, thoughtful, and intuitive. As a person living with chronic pain, I am very choosy about who I will let touch me. Francesca eases my pain, and helps me understand more about my body. I have severe arthritis in my jaw from years of grinding my teeth and she has done wonders for my jaw. I am extremely grateful for all the ways she has helped me." —Duffy


In their peaceful, private office space…

"If you’re looking for a great massage from a caring, thoughtful person who won’t try to push a product or spiritual way of life your way — look no further. In their peaceful, private office space, I enjoy massages specifically aimed at my needs and what I want worked on. I’m very happy with the results." —Janet


I always feel so much better…

"Francesca is a strong and dedicated massage therapist. She is very responsive and always checks in with me before my massage to see how my back is doing and to see if there are other areas on which she needs to focus. Her massage is the best, very relaxing and thorough. The massage room is very comfortable and calming and I always feel so much better after her massages! Francesca is very knowledgeable and quick to respond to any insurance billing issues. I highly recommend Francesca and her massage therapy practice!" —Sarah


They are the best…

"Francesca and her colleagues know what they are doing and can respond to whatever your massage need is; injury related, relaxation, chronic pain et al. They are the best!" —Mark


Even deep tissue work feels gentle and relaxing…

"Francesca is one of the best- she adapts her style of massage based on what is going on in the customer’s body – she is skilled in many types of massage. She also provides feedback on muscular and skeletal stiffness and strains that she can feel in the body as she is working- but only when asked. This has been helpful for me in confirming what I suspect I am sensing in my own body, such as abnormal tension in the neck, for example. She takes care of her own body and energy stores and as a result, she is able to offer a pleasant, happy aura to the massage environment. She is skilled and serious about massage, but has a calming, peaceful presence in her way of talk and her style of massage. Even deep tissue work somehow feels gentle and relaxing with her touch. She bills insurance and has a flexible schedule too, which is just icing on the cake!" —Laura
